Photography Tips
You should carry a tripod, ND filters and a polarizer to avoid reflections for stunning long exposures. A wide-angle lens like the 16-35mm is also highly recommended.
Don't hesitate to kindly ask people to walk on and get out of your shot. There are sometimes so many tourists that patience doesn't help to get the shot you are longing for.

Attention: The photo for this spot was taken from the other side of the River Brittle which means you need to cross the river at some point to get to the exact spot! Be careful the river can get very full on a wet day making a difficult crossing!
